The problem with that is, of course, it wouldn't be applied with any more fairness than the current rules. So Ayr Utd would lose the game and the points if someone throw a coin on the pitch, but Rangers would get a stern warning if someone threw a bullet at Neil Lennon.

The one thing you can be sure of is that if it's not stamped out quickly, the footballing authorities (or worse, the government) are going to bring in draconian punishments like hefty fines or stand closures. And the smaller clubs will be disproportionally affected.

Or Donnelly.

So they "had it coming"? It's one thing giving the ref and players a bit of verbals at a game - it can be part of the fun (it is supposed to be fun remember?) - but there is zero justification for throwing objects at the players, or even onto the pitch. And trying to claim a player somehow contributes to it by stealing a few yards at a throw-in is ridiculous. If you get so upset by the pantomime villains at a Motherwell match that you need to throw things at them, maybe football isn't for you.

Not sure we'll find better defensive midfielders than Campbell and Gorrin - tucked in beside Turnbull and Cadden and I'd say that is one of our better line-ups. As for Livingstone - putting aside the fact that we have more points (and more wins) than them, and putting aside that abomination of plastic that their manager admits gives them an advantage - if we played the tactics they play every week, I'd cancel my Well Society subscription and pop my eyes out with a spoon.

Our last 4 games have just reinforced the fact that we're one of the better bottom 6 teams, but not good enough to be top 6.

The only surprising thing today is people are surprised at this performance. We do this every time. Rangers could field their Walking Football team and we'd still find a way to capitulate.

"Best chance ever" "Let's get in about them" "Nothing to fear" etc. etc. (taken from the script for the past 20 years)

Could write the script. Start off the better team, give a way a soft goal in the first quarter.

Presumably based on this article in The Herald - although, it's pretty non-commital stuff about "not a closed door for me"

I'm just glad to be old enough to remember the last time it happened!

Lafferty was our lucky charm for his last few games against us at Hearts. Every time he scored, we won. No idea how this will turn out, but for the record, I hate 12:30pm kick-offs.

That's right. And when they go bust, they go out of existence and cease trading. Hence the old Rangers no long exists.

I don't think the hundreds of creditors that were stiffed when the old club entered liquidation see it that way.

Best chance ever. (3 - 1 Rangers).

Should have taken the money in January.

Some players will leave. The media will link us to players we aren't signing. We'll bring in new players nobody has heard of. They will be written off by some fans after a couple of pre-season friendlies. /thread

This. Plus if I'm forking out to watch the team (in person or with an MFC TV subscription), I expect to see a minimum of 100% effort to win every game and provide me with some entertainment.

Gorrin was defintely a big miss. First half in particular, we played well enough and recovered from the flukey goal to be deservedly level. Their 2nd was fortunate too, but our performance dipped after that and Gillepsie's injury seemed to distract us even further. I thought Robinson's comments were in response to people who were saying we should drop Hastie , but I guess he might have been reminding other that they need to be performing while they remain our our payroll.

TV companies seem to delay it more than the local constabulary as they fight to give us the worst kick-off times possible on the worst days possible as often as possible.

We've lost better players than Hastie and improved the following season.

A spokesman said: “Work has begun to prepare the Ladbrokes Premiership post-split fixture schedule for 2017/18. “This work will include consultations with Police Scotland and discussions with Sky Sports and BT Sport regarding live broadcast selections. “It is expected that the post-split fixture schedule will be published early next week.”

Even if they see him as a worthy replacement, a backup would still be handy.

Thought Hibs would get their point tonight. Only real downside the is the Gillepsie injury.

Didn't look much in it on the stream - Gillespie, Tait and Cosgrove all went for the same ball. Cosgrove and Gillepsie took the worst of it. And Aberdeen get a slice of luck to score a second.
